Murphy's Law states:

No matter what you buy, how much you paid for it, or how advanced it is, there will either be an insane discount the next day, or a more advanced product released.

I ordered this digital camera with birthday gift money two days ago:

http://www.amazon.com/exec....=507846

Two days later I find out about this: http://www.casio.com/index.c....z40.htm

Bah!


Oh well my camera is still great, the differences in the two models are that the newer one has a longer lasting battery, and a video recording feature, but its nice to show how Murphy's law states you will be screwed over every time you buy something







Ok this brings up another point, what do you think about this:

The Exilim-Z4 has video recording capability.

The Exilim-Z4U doesn't.

The difference? The Z4U is the North American version of the camera, the Z4 is the European version.

Am I wrong to think how retarted this is? It must only be a matter of a simple firmware upgrade that would allow the Z4U to video record too right?

I e-mailed Casio and the helpful people there just sent me the link to the new camera.

I e-mailed them back saying "Thanks for the help, this does me a lot of good after I already bought the camera"

So true.

I bought my computer, a week later Apple was reviewing their price and releasing a new line.
I would have wait 1 week, and I would have save 300$ and get a faster one. Blah!

No it doesn't, I don't know where you found your definition of Murphy's law but is really:

"If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it"

and your varient(if it's really a varient) isn't funny.

Neither are  you.. whats the point?

BURN!  And so true.  

In any case, can we at least try to spell 'retarded' right?  I mean when you mispell that... well it just reeks of irony.  

ba'h, if they reduce the price a few days after u bought it fone them and have a rant, alternitivly take it back for the expensive, and buy it again at the lower price (many stores here let u take somthing back if its not rite and not been used) ...if its a plannned sale happening (eg summer\winter sale) wait until the sale starts.
